Polling underway for four Karnataka Legislative Council seats

Bengaluru, Oct 28(UNI) Polling is for four Karnataka Legislative Council seats.
The elections are being held for Karnataka South-East Graduates, Karnataka West Graduates', Karnataka North-East Teachers' and Bangalore Teachers' constituencies, which fell vacant due to the retirement of R Chowda Reddy Thoopalli, S V Sankanur, Sharanappa Mattur, and Puttanna respectively.
The polling began at 0800 hrs and would conclude at 1700 hrs. Counting of votes will be held on November 2. Forty candidates are in the fray.
There are 2.35 lakh voters in these four constituencies. Security has been beefed up at the polling stations.
Prohibitory orders under section 144 of the CrPC have been clamped in and surrounding areas of the booths.
The Election Commission has directed the Returning officers to ensure that face masks and social distancing are maintained by the staff as well as the voters.
Following the guidelines, arrangements have been made for hand sanitizers and thermal screening at all the booths.
Medical teams were deployed around the polling centers as well.
The election is crucial for the BJP as it lacks a majority in the state Legislative Council to pass the crucial bills.
In the Council with a strength of 75 members, Congress has 28 members, BJP -- 27 members, Janata Dal (Secular) -- 14 members, one independent, one chairman, and four vacant seats.
